    While Federer takes a comfort break, Djokovic has just put some eyedrops in his....well, eyes.

    Hayfever? I feel your pain, Novak...

    Ah, a fifth set. But we all called that at five to two, right?

    Those in front of us on Centre Court climb to their feet, stretching those legs, getting that blood flowing.

    Roger Federer nips off court again and I'm also going to make another exit.

    Katie Falkingham will take you to the bitter, and what should be brilliant, end. Enjoy...

  4. Game and fourth set Federerpublished at 17:07 British Summer Time 14 July 2019

    Djokovic 7-6 (7-5) 1-6 7-6 (7-4) 4-6 Federer

    I think Mirka has spent about an hour of this match looking at the floor. That's how tense it is.

    Roger eases 30-0 ahead, earning another chance to seal the set - or rather three of them - as Djokovic overcooks a forehand.

    Federer needs just the one, pumping away a forehand winner which lands when Djokovic is halfway to his chair.

    Djokovic quickly races 40-0 ahead, Federer perhaps sensing this is a chance to recharge after some energy-sapping rallies.

    Brittle wrists buckle at the net for Djokovic... 40-15... but he finishes the job at the next opportunity as Federer can't land a forehand.

    Another chance for the Swiss to seal it...

    Sorry Overs, that won't happen now. Djokovic outlasts Federer in another rally to clinch the break at the second attempt.

    Will that matter in the bigger picture?

    Someone in Roger Federer's box has just sat with their head on the wall in front of them for a good 30 seconds, staring at the floor.

    This. Is. Tense.

  9. Federer survives break pointpublished at 16:59 British Summer Time 14 July 2019

    Djokovic 7-6 (7-5) 1-6 7-6 (7-4) 2-5 Federer*

    Hang on... Djokovic earns his first break point of the match.

    A baseline tussle goes for what feels like FOREVER. Backhands, forehands, repeat, repeat, again. Every stroke absolutely middled.

    And that includes the backhand which ends a 35-shot rally in favour of Federer.

    Federer really is the one who has played all the tennis.

    If we do get in to a fifth set it's going to be a fascinating shootout.

    Djokovic 7-6 (7-5) 1-6 7-6 (7-4) 2-5 Federer*

    If I was Novak I'd write this off and back myself to win the decider.

    If anyone can reset then it's the defending champ.

    That's not a prediction by the way. I mean, only a fool would put their last pound on where this match is going.

    And we're not sure where this game is going. 30-30...

  12. Federer breaks againpublished at 16:55 British Summer Time 14 July 2019

    Djokovic 7-6 (7-5) 1-6 7-6 (7-4) 2-5 Federer*

    A sledgehammer forehand, a feathered volley.

    Federer shows the extreme elements of his game, levelling for 30-30 and leaving more fans jumping to heir feet.

    Anyone else feel a bit for Djokovic?

    More hollering as the Serb can't return a forehand after another Federer punch... 30-40.

    Then he goes long for another break in favour of the Swiss. Djokovic's head is bowed as he trudges back to his chair.

    Barring a dramatic turnaround, we'll be into a fifth...

  14. 'Federer resilient'published at 16:51 British Summer Time 14 July 2019

    Djokovic 7-6 (7-5) 1-6 7-6 (7-4) 2-4 Federer

    Tim Henman
    Former British number one on BBC TV at Wimbledon

    It's an element of Federer's game that probably doesn't get mentioned enough - and that's how resilient he is.

    He hasn't played his best tennis but he has never got down, he's competed and now he has a break of serve in the fourth.

  15. Postpublished at 16:51 British Summer Time 14 July 2019

    *Djokovic 7-6 (7-5) 1-6 7-6 (7-4) 2-4 Federer

    Someone bottle this guy up in vinegar. Federer shows a touch of class with a deft drop-shot to put him 40-0 up, Novak handing over the game with a forehand dragged wide.

    Djokovic looks a little tetchy. Expect a reaction the next time he edges a big point...

    Roger Federer is so good at taking advantage of opportunities.

    Listen to the crowd, they are starting to chant Federer's name and that is going to get further under Novak Djokovic's skin.

  17. Roger! clap clap clap Roger!published at 16:49 British Summer Time 14 July 2019

    "Allez," Mirka Federer shouts towards her husband at break point. She's been a bag of nerves in the players' box down to my left.

    My word, the noise on Centre Court was immense as Federer took that.

    Chants of "Roger! *clap clap clap* Roger! *clap clap clap*" ring around the place.

    He's got it! Much of Centre Court leaps to feet, Swiss flags waving, fists punching the air.

    Djokovic loses his focus, knocking a backhand wide.

    Eeek. Novak's serve creaks. A double fault for 15-30, then a forehand long - wait, is it long? - yes. Hawk-Eye confirms it is.

    Break point to Federer...

    And the noise! Partisan. That will not please Novak...

    Roger Federer's kicking serve has really caused some damage. It is slower, but gets up around Novak Djokovic's ear and is so hard to return.
